Of course I'm going to comment on the cute packaging of this and the cocoa scent as well. I do notice that the scent is only strong when newly bought. After a while, the scent is hardly there anymore. I love how the packaging is metal so it's sturdy and won't break easily like the cheap plastic packaging from other eyeshadows. There is not a lot of fallout but not a lot of color payoff. It's not a...read mores pigmented as I would have liked. When swatched on my hand, it is crazy pigmented but it's one of those hard formulas that barely picks up on brushes. Even on my clients, it barely showed up. I still had to take colors from my other palettes such as my Lorac Pro and Anastasia to get the job done. I love the colors in here but I wish the pigmentation is stronger. Also, the blendability of the shadows is not there. It's hard to blend and can look blotchy. This is only good if you want a softer look. I love the range of matte and shimmer colors in this unlike the Naked palettes. And unlike the Naked palettes there are more than one transition shades and highlight colors to choose from. The highlight color Champagne Truffle looks wonderful on the cheeks as a highlight. This is by far my favorite color in the palette and super shimmery and pigmented unlike the other colors. And the pan is bigger so it's easy to get a fan brush or small tapered brush in. Some cons are that some of the colors are very similar in color so when placed on the lid, it's hard to tell. I would say there's too much browns and not a lot of differentiation between the colors. I wish the palette had more purpley/plum tones that are wearable. The maroon color in this can be a little more noticeable. It looks like brown when applied on the lid. I was debating on this or the Naked palette and after considering how much more I like the colors in this, my mind was made up. I kind of wished I bought the Naked palette too. That one seems to blend better than this one but overall this is an all in one palette for eyeshadows that I don't have to worry about packing another palette that has transition and highlighting shades but I don't reach for it often because I love stronger colors.— 1 year, 10 months ago

PROS:
-Cute packaging! Looks AND smells like an actual chocolate bar. It's difficult to resist biting into this palette.
-Great variation of browns and neutrals.
-Great variation of shimmers, mattes, and satins.
-Great value for 16 different shades.
-Decent pigmentation on most shades.
CONS:
-Staying power and blendability. Looks great when I initially put it on, but it fades and creases as the d...read moreay goes on.
-I've experienced difficulty with blending some of the shades. Maybe it's due to the similarity of tones and hues, but I tend to end up with one mushed up color on my lids by the day's end.
-The texture on some of the shades are quite chalky.
OTHER NOTES:
-This cute, delicious palette is a must have for those who tend to hoard/collect eyeshadow paletes (like me!). But if you are looking to invest in a palette for more practical reasons (such as long-wearing shadows which will last many hours), you might want to look elsewhere.
-Overall, the case is pretty sturdy. But I noticed that the enclosed mirror was weakly adhered to the tin casing and has fallen off.
-Overall, I like this palette. I was blown away by the cuteness, smell, and color selection. But I wasn't blown away by the quality.— 3 years, 1 month ago

I have recently purchased three well known pALETTES AND this is the best. I like the guide which shows three looks to help get you srarted and its easier then. Also the smell of cocoa is really there and the mix of colours are neutrals with some pops of colour, perfect balance in my opinion. Its great for making blue eyes pop.
